Thread: 1954 Royal Review 47160049

Picked up the parts today . & called into John Bradshaw . He will tell you about all the parts when he sees you. I have to go back up as there was twice as many parts as he origionly showed me so a ute & box trailer wasn't enough room , at least a nother ute load to pick up

Have a very similar singer here to the one photographed, the Minister for War and Finance tuned it up too (timing was way out at first) .

Can I send you photos of anything at all to show you how its set up?

On the Royal, this is one of the best resto threads Ive seen for ages, well done and great work.. as said it would be magnificent to see it in MELROSE.. or in fact anywhere!

Yes thats is OK . I still have to do up the 1904 Singer , I am going to see how the tentioner is put together on it so I can get this ones right.
Yes Keith is a clever bugger , can turn his hand to anything.

Photos of the tour show Police drivers except for Queensland which shows Army.
Can anyone identify the uniform, colour of the beret, regiment etc from this photo?

Keith

Hi Keith

Cannot help with that,

Looks like the one that Paul Freestone bought and removed the glass back from claret red was the colour.

Thanks Steve, Have not heard of that one, can you tell us more?
Is Paul Freestone still around?

Keith, if you read the caption on the photo, it says it was an ex serviceman display, so that may explain why someone in the forces was given the honour of driving HRH.

Cheers, Mick.
